Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of atactic copolymers of propylene with ethylene.
  • the products of homopolymerization of propylene can be crystalline or amorphous. Whereas the polypropylene possessing isotactic or syndiotactic structure is crystalline, the polypropylene with substantially atactic structure proves to be amorphous.
  • Atactic polypropylene in the representation with Fisher formula as described in "M.Farina, Topics Stereochem., 17 , (1987), 1-111", has the methyl groups arranged randomly on one or other side of the polymer chain. As described in the aforementioned publication, useful information about the structure can be obtained from NMR analysis.
  • the commercially available amorphous polypropylene is mainly used in adhesive compositions and as an additive in bitumens. It is usually a by-product of isotactic polypropylene obtained in the presence of catalysts of the Ziegler-Natta type. However, separation of the small fractions of amorphous polypropylene from the rest of the product requires expensive processes of solvent separation.
  • polypropylene is obtained that has a high degree of crystallinity. Nevertheless, some metallocene catalytic systems are able to polymerize propylene to amorphous polypropylene. These polymers are, however, generally characterized by low molecular weight.
  • amorphous polymers of propylene have been prepared which have a high molecular weight.
  • European Application EP-A-604 917 describes an amorphous polymer of propylene which can be obtained directly by the reaction of polymerization of propylene, and has the following characteristics:
  • amorphous polypropylene possesses interesting elastomeric properties. Nevertheless, its glass transition temperature (T g ) is found to be relatively high (around 0°C), so that goods manufactured from this polymer cannot be used at low temperatures.
  • European Application EP-A-604 908 gives examples of amorphous copolymers of propylene with higher ⁇ -olefins and these have T g values below 0°C.
  • T g glass transition temperature
  • the amorphous polypropylene described in EP-A-604 917 can be obtained from the reaction of polymerization of propylene carried out in the presence of a catalyst, described in the cited European Application EP-A-604 908, based on a metallocene that has two fluorenyl ligands with a bridge between them.
  • a catalyst described in the cited European Application EP-A-604 908, based on a metallocene that has two fluorenyl ligands with a bridge between them.
  • the polymerization yields are not satisfactory.
  • an object of the present invention is a process for the preparation of an amorphous copolymer of propylene with ethylene, with a content of units derived from the ethylene of between about 1 and 30% by moles, in which less than 2% of the CH 2 groups in the polymer chain are present in (CH 2 ) n sequences where n is an even number.
  • the content by moles of monomer units derived from the ethylene is preferably comprised between about 3% and 30% and, more preferably, between about 5% and 20%.
  • the copolymers of propylene possess an atactic structure and therefore are substantially amorphous. Their enthalpy of fusion ( ⁇ H f ) cannot generally be measured.
  • 13 C-NMR analysis supplies information on the tacticity of the polymer chains, the composition of the polymer and the distribution of the comonomer within the polymer chains.
  • the structure of the aforementioned polymers of propylene is substantially atactic. It is observed that the syndiotactic diads (r) are more numerous than the isotactic diads (m). Generally, the value of the relation %r-%m is higher than 0, particularly higher than 5, more particularly higher than 10.
  • the ethylene units in the polymer chain are much more isolated relative to a Bernoullian or random statistical distribution, with an equal content of ethylene units in the chain.
  • the copolymers of the invention contain an extremely low number of sequences of two or more consecutive ethylene units.
  • EEE, PEE, EPE, PEP, PPE and PPP represent, respectively, the sequences ethylene/ethylene/ethylene, propylene/ethylene/ethylene, ethylene/propylene/ethylene, propylene/ethylene/propylene, propylene/propylene/ethylene and propylene/propylene/propylene in the copolymer.
  • the values are normalized. The higher the number of isolated ethylenic units in the chain, the more the values of the ratio PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) become closer to the unit. For the present copolymer, the value of the ratio PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) is generally higher than 0.8.
  • the number of ethylene sequences is clearly dependant on the amount of ethylenic units present in the chain.
  • the copolymers of the invention having a content of ethylene units of up to about 10% by moles do not show ethylenic sequences along the chain and, therefore, the value of the ratio PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) for those copolymers is 1.
  • the percentage molar content of ethylene (%E) and the ratio PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) satisfy the following relationship: 0.012%E + PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) ⁇ 1 preferably: 0.01%E + PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) ⁇ 1 more preferably: 0.008%E + PEP/(PEP+PEE+EEE) ⁇ 1
  • the values of C.I.(E) are well below unity, generally lower than 0.7, preferably lower than 0.5, more preferably lower than 0.3.
  • the structure of the copolymers is found to be highly regioregular.
  • 13 C-NMR analysis does not detect signals relating to (CH 2 ) n sequences, where n is an even number.
  • the polymers are found to have molecular weights that are of interest industrially.
  • the aforementioned polymers have values of intrinsic viscosity (I.V.) that are generally higher than 0.5 dl/g and even higher than 1.0 dl/g.
  • the polymers are found to have a narrow molecular weight distribution.
  • An index of the molecular weight distribution is given by the ratio M w /M n which, for the present copolymers, is generally lower than 4, preferably lower than 3.5 and, more preferably, lower than 3.
  • copolymers are generally soluble in the usual solvents, e.g. hexane, heptane and toluene.
  • the amorphous copolymer of propylene with ethylene with a content of units derived from the ethylene of between 1 and 30% by moles, in which less than 2% of the CH 2 groups in the polymer chain are present in (CH 2 ) n sequences where n is an even number, are prepared by the process of the present invention, which comprises the reaction of polymerization of mixtures of propylene and ethylene in the presence of a catalyst comprising the product of the reaction between:
  • the R 2 bridging group is preferably a >SiR 1 2 or >GeR 1 2 group.
  • the transition metal M is preferably chosen from among titanium, zirconium and hafnium, zirconium being particularly preferred.
  • Metallocene compounds with the formula (I) that are particularly suitable are those in which the substituents R 1 are hydrogen atoms, the R 2 bridging group is a >SiR 1 2 or >GeR 1 2 group, preferably it is a >Si(CH 3 ) 2 group, more preferably a >Si(n-C 4 H 9 ) 2 group, M is a zirconium atom and the substituents X are halogen atoms or R 1 groups, and are preferably chlorine atoms or methyl radicals.
  • Non-limitative examples of these compounds are:
  • the aluminoxane used as component (B) can be obtained by reaction between water and an organometallic compound of aluminium of formula AlR 4 3 or Al 2 R 4 6 , in which the substituents R 4 , which may be identical or different, are defined as above, with the condition that at least one R 4 is different from halogen. In that case, they are caused to react in Al/water molar ratios between about 1:1 and 100:1.
  • the molar ratio between aluminium and the metal of the metallocene compound is between about 10:1 and about 5000:1, and preferably between about 100:1 and about 4000:1.
  • the aluminoxane used in the process of the invention is considered to be a linear, branched or cyclic compound, containing at least one group of the type: wherein the substituents R 5 , which may be identical or different, are R 1 or a group -O-Al(R 5 ) 2 , and possibly some R 5 can be halogen atoms.
  • the radicals R 1 are preferably methyl, ethyl, isobutyl or 2,4,4-trimethyl-pentyl groups.
  • aluminoxanes suitable for use according to the present invention are methylalumoxane (MAO), isobutylaluminoxane (TIBAO) and 2,4,4-trimethyl-pentylalumoxane (TIOAO), the methylalumoxane being preferred. Mixtures of differents alumoxanes are suitable as well.
  • trimethylaluminium and triisobutylaluminium are preferred.
  • Non-limitative examples of compounds capable of forming a cationic alkyl metallocene are compounds of formula Y + Z - , where Y + is a Br ⁇ nsted acid, capable of donating a proton and of reacting irreversibly with a substituent R 2 of the compound with formula (I) and Z - is a compatible anion, which does not coordinate, which is able to stabilize the active catalytic species that originates from the reaction of the two compounds, and which is sufficiently labile so that it can be displaced from an olefinic substrate.
  • the anion Z - comprises one or more boron atoms.
  • the anion Z - is an anion of formula BAr 4 (-) , where the substituents Ar, which may be identical or different, are aryl radicals such as phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl. Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate is particularly preferred.
  • compounds with the formula BAr 3 can be used conveniently.
  • the catalysts used in the process of the present invention can also be used on inert supports. This is achieved by depositing the metallocene compound (A), or the product of its reaction with component (B), or component (B) and then the metallocene compound (A), on inert supports such as silica, alumina, styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, polyethylene and polypropylene.
  • inert supports such as silica, alumina, styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, polyethylene and polypropylene.
  • the process of copolymerization of propylene with ethylene according to the present invention can be conducted in the liquid phase, in the liquid mixture of the monomers or in the presence of an inert aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, for example toluene, or an aliphatic one, e.g. n-hexane, or in the gas phase.
  • an inert aromatic hydrocarbon solvent for example toluene, or an aliphatic one, e.g. n-hexane, or in the gas phase.
  • the polymerization temperature is generally between 0°C and 150°C, in particular between 20°C and 100°C, and more particularly between 30°C and 80°C.
  • the molecular weight of the copolymers can be varied simply by varying the polymerization temperature, the type or the concentration of the catalytic components or, and this constitutes an advantage of the invention, by varying the content of units derived from ethylene in the polymer chain.
  • the molecular weight distribution can be varied by using mixtures of different metallocene compounds, or by effecting polymerization in several stages that differ with respect to the polymerization temperatures and/or the concentrations of molecular weight regulator.
  • the polymerization yields depend on the purity of the metallocene component of the catalyst. Therefore the metallocene compounds obtained by the process of the invention can be used as they are, or after undergoing a purification treatment.
  • the yields of the process of the invention are higher, however, than those in preparation of the corresponding amorphous homopolymers of propylene, and this constitutes a further advantage of the invention.
  • the components of the catalyst can be brought into contact with each other prior to polymerization.
  • the time of contact is generally between 1 and 60 minutes, and preferably between 5 and 20 minutes.
